Mind Body Brew

A throwback to our post on Thanksgiving of last year - my, how quickly a year flies by! - with the hope that its simple suggestion offers the chance for a momentary rest from the holiday craze that has already erupted our streets, stores, and gatherings of family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

This week’s tip is a little different.

You may expect me to share a posture for detox after big Thanksgiving meals or even offer a mantra for gratitude.

Instead, this week I encourage you to take 10 minutes somewhere in your busy schedule, whether you are spending time with family and friends or not, and just sit alone. Grab a cup of tea or hot cider and find a cozy, relaxing space and sit by yourself, with yourself.

No need to meditate. No need to have a purpose or a discovery or even a result. No expectations!

You might be surprised what just 10 minutes spent alone brings to you.

MindBodyBrew is a space for pondering, working through, revisiting, and deliberating. We delight in the examination of that which we think we already know. We don’t claim to have everything figured out. Rather, we aim to plant seeds that can lead to careful thought and consequential choices. We invite you to join us in our exploration into living a mindful life.
